On December 13, 1937, the Japanese army invaded Nanjing and carried out a massacre of more than 40 days of extermination of humanity against our compatriots, killing 300,000 people, leaving the darkest page in the history of human civilization. In order to remember history, cherish peace, and warn the future, on February 27, 2014, the Seventh Session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National People's Congress passed a decision to establish December 13 as the National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre in the form of legislation.
December 13, 2021 is the eighth National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

On the occasion of the cold years, in the name of the country, we will reminisce about the deceased and remember the heroes.
